Brush, Tree Limb & Yard Waste Collection

In addition to household trash and recyclables, Local Waste Services picks up brush, tree limbs, and other yard waste every trash collection day of the year when presented correctly:

Tree limbs and brush must be cut in lengths no longer than 4 feet

Tied with twine into manageable bundles, no more than 2 feet in diameter

Placed at the curb where your other trash is placed

If a tree service is hired to trim or cut down a tree, the property owner is solely responsible for that removal. Whole trees cut down either by the resident or by a tree service will not be removed by the City.

Yard Waste

Put all yard waste in organically biodegradable bags or containers reserved for and marked "Yard Waste", and then place at curb for regular collection. "Yard Waste" stickers are available in the Service Department at City Hall, or may be placed into organically biodegradable bags specifically designed for this purpose. These bags can be purchased at hardware or home supply stores. Plastic garbage bags are not acceptable for this purpose.

As with all trash and recyclable items, you may place yard waste brush, as described above at the curb after sundown on the evening before collection day, and return the container to the rear of your property by sundown on the day of collection.
